My guess is a Fifty-Fathoms with faded dial, no date.

38mm Bathyscaphe and only 100 pieces for $9,900. Dang, tempting.

That's a NOPE for me. Hideous (IMHO) and definitely not worth $9,900.

I actually like it. Pretty much the same price as the original (albeit you could get the original at a discount). But, overall well executed.

I must be the minority because I like it too. A lot of watch for 10k because I have always digged the bathy but could not stand the date floating out there in the middle of the dial like raft in the ocean.

I do like it. I think it's a solid execution, but I don't really know why anyone would pay the Hodinkee premium when there is already a 38mm in the market (although with a different dial).
My $9900 is likely safe, just because it's tough to say 'yes' immediately to one of these releases without letting it wash over me, sleep on it for a night, etc. Was thinking of buying one just for the quick arbitrage though...seen the Omega and IWC trade for pretty crazy premiums just because of the 'dink branding. |

It's not a bad looking watch, but something like a milspec blows it away, imo.

The 38 is real small when I tried one on and I have a 6.5. Anyone buy one ? I like the look

Well I bought it lol I must be so jaded because when I saw the price I was fine with it. My lease favorite thing about it is the co branding but at 100 pieces and with the well thought out dial I am good.

The sub is on a bracelet...and it's a Rolex. For 99% of the world, that's enough.
